San Mateo. Who's going? I have a bike stashed in your neighborhood. I want to ride it to the show. Who's with me? :mrgreen:

Dates: Nov 20-22.

Sssssshhhhheeeeeaaaaattttt!!!!


I won't be there, but I will be pissed about missing the show. But make sure you don't pay for parking, allow yourself an hour to walk through all the bikes that will be there in the parking lot. That's almost worth the price of admission just to see what was rode in. See if BMW of SF has cheap tickets for the show. SP and Yeti won't sleep for three days before the event so you may need to "monitor" their behavior. SP will need "adult supervision", so like I said if you could look out for them both I would be grateful.

The show will add 10 more pages to the acute bike lust therapy thread. We'll be seeing 60 pages no problem.


Good luck

I'm in for Sunday and I'm bringing my lawyer (who happens to be one of my riding buddies). That's how we roll on the Left Coast.

I will most likely be there Friday afternoon. I already have my ticket and received a Bike Bandit 15%-off coupon for buying the ticket on-line.

I was going to meet up with some moto-pals, have breakfast somewhere along the way, and hit the show when the doors open on Sunday morning. My friends are riding over from Alameda and I'm in Frisco, so it will either be a meet-up on the peninsula, or they'll pass through Frisco (Rocco's! Tex, SP, and Commo can attest to the quality of the eats) or we'll just meet at the show and have lunch afterward.

Anyone who wants in on the (eventual) plan, just lemme know.

I'm going for sure, I lent the GREAT map I got last year to a co-worker and his wife moved his office into plastic bins and things have gone down hill for him from there. It was a map passed out for free from the State of California Parks division showing ALL the off road riding places in the state, large and in color. I'm in the middle of the 3rd big re-power but I like going on Friday evening when all the staff are fresh and not worn out and tired of rude public gawkers. :shock:

Hells yeah! Banana French Toast! Yumm.... As I remember, the "service" was walking the streets and gave us a peek as we rode by.

If I weren't stuck here in Stuttgart I'd ride with ya to the IMS.

If jd is sp's "adult supervision" then god help him. Of those two go to the San Mateo motorcycle show and don't wind up in a guatamalan jail I would think that about as good as you could hope for

Commo, you're living 'The International Motorcycle Show"! Been to Hornig's facility yet? If you are ever passing through Heidenheim, please give the place a wave and a nod from me. You have a motorcycle there? The Romantische Strasse on two wheels would be fun. There are some great "B" bahns between there and Frankfurt. Go man, GO!

Crashy, why don't you come on up and see if you can get them thrown into a more local jail? ;-)
